Last night, I finished reading Super Man: Red Son.
Ask my family, closest friends, girlfriend, and nerdy cohorts; I HATE SUPERMAN!!! He's nothing but an overrated cheater with a cape and a "S" on his chest!
That being said, Red Son has now overtaken The Watchmen as my favorite title.
This particular epic takes the All American hero Superman and asks "what if he had landed in Soviet Russia instead of the U.S.A." The combination of politics, superheroes, and an all around well written story with just as phenomenal art left me speechless and my jaw on the ground. I was almost sad that I had completed the story...
The Batman fan in me is utterly disgusted!
All joking (and some seriousness) aside, this is a phenomenal story. Anyone who likes Superman, or who is just looking for a great read should definitely add this to their comic book to-do list.
Now, somebody get me a cape and cowl before I start talking about birds, planes, and speeding bullets...
